Fresh Prince Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 16 hours ago, Malfatron said: Watched hunger games part 2 Definitely has more pacing issues than the first one but infinitely better cinematography. The 2nd one is about bigger things, but i like the self contained plot of HG1 The games themselves Theres better characters in hunger Game 1 (Roux sp?) But theres more interesting characters in hunger games 2 Theres way too many characters in HG1 (like the district 11 male) that died offscreen. And the redhead child in HG1 scored really well at identifying the correct plants to eat but then died with berries. That rang false. In general though, the HG2 has diminishing returns over HG1. So although HG2 improved in some aspects, it wasnt as engaging as the first one. A lot of it was more of the same. And it is really noticable when watching them basically back to back. Instead of appeciating the slow buildup in HG1, i just wanted them to get to the damn games already in the sequel. Also, it really needed more PSH, but hopefully that shores itself up when the game starts So ratings, even though the camerawork was a mess in HG1 HG1: 7.3 (novelty factor and straightforward plot, laughable camera work) HG2: 5.10 (the first half is a drag, and the 2nd half aint great) HG2 is the only one I actually enjoy out of the 4.

If you want more of a thriller, scary version of what a killer crocodile experience might be like... Black Water is the undisputed champ.

beekay414 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Inception is the best movie of the last 15 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I finished a Twilight Saga rewatch and boy it's just as bad now as it was 10+ years ago. The acting, the story and the CGI were just brutal. I spent a lot of time laughing and I don't think it was intended to be a comedy. The CGI stuff to make the baby look like Mackenzie Foy all throughout was brutal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won’t even watch it once. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty21 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Draft Day. My excitement for the draft this year is as high as it was in my first years of football fandom so I wonder if it’ll usurp my subtle memories of this movie being ****ing terrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
